PeaceHealth in Whatcom receives $12.6 million in federal coronavirus relief money
PeaceHealth in Whatcom County received about $12.6 million in federal grants — most of it for St. Joseph hospital — meant to help health care providers that were struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The money came through the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, and the data was collected by a group called Good Jobs First on its Covid Stimulus Watch website.
Systemwide, PeaceHealth received a total of nearly $75 million in CARES Act stimulus grants, according to Charles Prosper, chief executive of PeaceHealth’s Northwest Network.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Wash., PeaceHealth has medical groups and 10 hospitals in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, including in Bellingham.
